Description Tony White 2008-10-09 06:06:42 UTC

Created attachment 19533 [details]
Screenshot

Using Okular (Which uses poppler to render,) To read Haynes manuals http://www.haynes.co.uk/
very useful for motor mechanics.
However the contents list on the top of every page are displayed unreadably.

The rest of the document is displayed fine, However the contents in the manual
are very important to seek repair information without reading or scanning
through the whole document.

I would include a page from a manual but cannot due to the fact the books are
copyrighted, Sorry.

I have added a screenshot

Not having the document makes solving the bug impossible, having a look at the screenshot if seems a bug that was solved not much ago but one can not be sure.

So you should try poppler 0.10.0 releases later today. If it does not fix your problem, well, you are out of luck.

Harsh. I'll use Adobe Reader regardless then. That will solve the problem.
Don't expect any more bug reports.

I will remove the offending library from my box.

Childishest answer, ever.

Is it that difficult to understand that without the document it's impossible to debug the issue?

It seems it is. 

Is it that much to ask you to install the latest release available to see if the bug was fixed?

Again, it seems it is. 

Go ahead and remove poppler from your system, not that i earn a dime for you using it, contrary i spend my spare time developing it and dealing with people like you.

Closing as WORKSFORME as the user decided Acrobat Reader works for him.

I just wonder how did you expect me to fix the bug?
